A Scots tradition grabs top spot as the UK’s favourite pie
The iconic Scotch pie was the UK s most sought after pie in the past 12 months. Pic: Szakaly To celebrate the UK’s 2021 National Pie Week (1-7 March), online UK butcher Eat Great Meat analysed the most searched for pies by the nation over the past year.
Results revealed the Scotch pie is the most searched for pie in England, Wales and of course, Scotland. The iconic pie received 385,497 searches or 16.9% of total searches for pie across the UK over the past 12 months.

Lanarkshire-based Bells Food Group has invested in a Scotch pie line from European Process Plant (EPP).
Its Comas Scotch Pie Line has replaced the pie maker’s original Comas Pie Line, which was installed by the equipment specialist 20 years ago.
The new line forms a small pastry doughball, which is dropped into heated moulds. A heated press then stamps the pie shell to partially cook the pastry. Robotics arms then pick up the shells, place it on a conveyor and pass it under a depositor, which adds the filling.
The pies then travel along the belt where a pastry lid is placed on top of the pie. A glaze is added and then the pies pass through a retractor which gently sweeps away the pies onto a travelling oven, where they are heated and transported to the wrapping department.
